In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

When He Yushui saw that all the villagers had arrived, he hurriedly opened the notebook he had brought with him.

Her movements were very skillful. She gently opened the notebook, and the brand new pages exuded a faint smell of paper.

Then she picked up the pen and held it tightly in her hand, her eyes focused and determined, ready to record the villagers' words and important information at any time.

She straightened her body slightly and waited with full concentration, as if she was shouldering an important mission at the moment.

Wang Jiqing solemnly explained to the villagers of Dali Village the purpose of Wang Jianguo and others' visit.

As soon as Wang Jiqing finished speaking, excitement instantly appeared on the villagers' faces.

They were all eager to express their opinions.

Conversations began to arise among the crowd, with everyone talking at once and the atmosphere was very lively.

If you listen carefully, although the opinions expressed by these villagers are different one after another, they are mostly similar to the needs of Jianye Village.

He Yushui listened attentively to everyone's speech, and kept taking notes in the notebook with the pen in his hand, for fear of missing any important details.

Time passed by minute by minute, and most of the day passed quietly. The villagers' speeches gradually came to an end, and everyone had almost finished speaking.

At this time, Wang Jiqing looked at the villagers, raised his hand slightly, and signaled everyone to disperse and continue to work.

When the villagers heard Wang Jiqing's words, they all started to take action. Some of them sorted out their tools and prepared to return to the fields to continue working.

Some people were still immersed in the discussion just now, communicating with people around them as they walked.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Wang Jianguo suddenly said:

"Oh, there is one more thing. After careful consideration, the commune has decided to select a person from your village to work in the supply and marketing cooperative."

"The salary for this job is similar to the work points you get in the production team, but there are certain requirements."

"First of all, we need educated people who can read and do math. If you are interested, you can find your village chief or team leader to sign up."

As soon as Wang Jianguo finished speaking, there was another uproar among the crowd.

The villagers who were originally preparing to leave returned excitedly after hearing the news.

There was a gleam of anticipation in their eyes, as if they saw a rare opportunity before them.

Those villagers who thought they did not meet the requirements sighed, shook their heads, and continued to go to work with heavy steps.

The whole scene was lively and full of expectations and longings for the future.

When Wang Jianguo saw that Wang Jiqing seemed to be busy for a while, he took a step forward and said to Wang Jiqing in a gentle tone:

"Village Chief Wang, looking at the situation, you will definitely be busy for a while. We won't bother you any further."

"Please tell Xiaoli Village that we won't go there. After all, you are more familiar with the place."

When Wang Jiqing heard this, he stood up quickly, his face full of apology, and said to Wang Jianguo:

"I'm so sorry. I wanted to invite you guys to have lunch today, but you look how busy you are."

"Ah, I'm really sorry. Don't worry about Xiaoli Village's affairs. I will definitely take care of them."

Wang Jianguo also waved his hands repeatedly, with a sincere smile on his face, and said to Wang Jiqing:

"Don't rush to eat. Let's wait until the supply and marketing cooperative opens. Then we can have a couple of drinks together. Let's talk about future development and imagine the good days ahead."

After saying that, Wang Jianguo, He Yushui and another person accompanying them slowly walked out of the brigade headquarters. Their figures appeared particularly determined under the reflection of the sunlight.

After walking out of Dali Village, Zhao Shuzhuo stopped, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I still have some work to do at the brigade headquarters, so I have to go back. What about you guys? Are you going home or going to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

When He Yushui heard Zhao Shuzhuo's question, he did not speak immediately, but turned his gaze to Wang Jianguo, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Wang Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhao Shuzhuo:

"Then go back and do your thing. You've been eating vegetarian these days, and I'm really greedy."

"I want to go to the mountains to see if I can bring back some game to improve our food. Yushui, come with me."

He Yushui nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Zhao Shuzhuo looked at them with concern in his eyes, and reminded them again:

"Then you must pay attention to safety. The situation in the mountains is complicated and there may be some danger. Go back early and don't make everyone worry."

Wang Jianguo smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Don't worry, we will be careful. Just go back to your work."

After saying that, Wang Jianguo and He Yushui walked towards the mountains, while Zhao Shuzhuo turned around and hurried towards the brigade headquarters.

Wang Jianguo nodded solemnly and agreed to Zhao Shuzhuo's instructions. The three of them parted ways at the entrance of Dali Village.

Wang Jianguo led He Yushui into the mountains with firm steps. For He Yushui, this was her first trip into the mountains in her life.

As soon as he stepped into the mountain pass, the dense woods, the deep environment, and the unknown sounds that came from time to time made He Yushui feel a strong sense of fear in his heart.

She grabbed Wang Jianguo's sleeve tightly, as if it was her only lifeline, and refused to let go.

Wang Jianguo noticed He Yushui's fear and quickly comforted her softly:

"Don't be afraid, Yu Shui. I have special abilities. Those big beasts won't hurt us. Just follow me without worry."

He Yushui listened to Wang Jianguo's words with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She didn't know whether she really believed what Wang Jianguo said.

Or maybe it was for some other reason, anyway, she felt a little relieved and was no longer as nervous and at a loss as before.

Wang Jianguo led He Yushui and continued to move slowly into the mountains. They didn't know how long they had been walking.

Along the way, He Yushui sometimes looked around nervously, and sometimes was attracted by the unique scenery in the mountains and forests.

Time passed by unknowingly, and suddenly, a mountain stream appeared in front of me.

The clear stream gurgled, sparkling with silver light under the sunlight. At this time, the two of them did feel a little thirsty.

They walked to the stream, washed their hands first, and felt the cool comfort brought by the stream water.

Then, they scooped up the spring water with both hands, carefully brought it to their mouths, and drank it all.

The sweet mountain spring water instantly moistened their thirsty throats, as if injecting them with new vitality.
